No Game No Life

[Elcura]

Summary: The story of No Game, No Life centers around Sora and Shiro, a brother and sister whose reputations as brilliant NEET (Not in Education, Employment, or Training) hikikomori (shut-in) gamers have spawned urban legends all over the Internet. These two gamers even consider the real world as just another "crappy game." One day, they are summoned by a boy named "God" to an alternate world. There, God has prohibited war and declared this to be a world where "everything is decided by games"—even national borders. Humanity has been driven back into one remaining city by the other races. Will Sora and Shiro, the good-for-nothing brother and sister, become the "Saviors of Humanity" on this alternate world? "Well, let's start playing."

More "incest" and loli for all your anime needs. But beyond that it can be a little interesting when it comes to playing games and tricks. Regardless, it's entertaining and colourful.

Easily anime of the season for me. >.> Main character is just hilariously awesome.

[Vincento]

definitely the best of this season. You should put the usual release day in your op's.

Yeah, though I'm not sure whether to put what day it airs or what day the subs come out.

[Correction]

Crunchyroll gets it on Wednesdays, and fansubs are completely unpredictable so there's that.

[Gulkeeva]

Episode 6 was amazing, both in awesome fanservice, and dropping (literally) knowledge bomb O_o

[Elcura]

That episode was pretty intense, though I knew shit would get crazy when a

Spoiler: show

hydrogen bomb

is used for the first move.

Was impressive, pretty and intense. Great episode.

[Xerlic]

It got really awkward watching the latest ep on public transportation once everyone's clothes started disappearing.

[Gryffes]

Easily AOTS.

[Tajin]

5 minutes in, I'm hooked, fk all yall lol

[Deadgye]

Episode was great, but the subs for the shiritori game were atrocious. Going to have to edit them and remux before I archive lol.

[Gokulo]

So, this episode had me thinking, seeing as Blank are simply unbeatable, if sports are considered games in this world too, so that somebody would finally be able to kick their ass O.o

[Tajin]

Yes and no, all their future opponents have superpowers (so it will be crazy version of sports where blank can cheat the system). The flugel fight was probably the only fair game they will play onwards lol.

[Not Kuno]

I got around to watching this and it's pretty great. Hooked.

Yeah, those subs (HorribleSubs' anyway) were horrendous. There must be a better and easier way of doing it than they did. To be fair, shiritori's not a thing that's directly translatable. Even a figurative translation is impossible to make good. This is the stuff of nightmares for translators, lol.

[Hatedregret]

Only problem I have with this show is the waiting now for more..... I am loving every episode.

Crunchyroll's translator posted on animesuki that he wasn't going to try to make the shiritori match up in English. He was just going to do a literal translation. It was the editor's idea to put stuff like 'nether regions' and 'real atmosphere' to try to make it work.

I'm not usually one to nitpick, but there was quite a bit lost in translation since they made that decision.

[Azull]

Seems like the rules of the game would make it kinda hard to translate without lots getting lost in translation. Thought it was good in showing their ability to play their opponent as much as they are playing the game.

Damn I thought this was about FFXI from the title.

[Charismatic]

Elcura, we don't talk much but I trust you.
Do you think I should be watching this?
